Critics Review
Alonge’s fine debut is … remarkable * Sunday Times *This brutal but striking debut … reeks with authenticity. It is crime-writing with a rap beat - fast, hard, unrelenting … the story’s honesty and impressive humanity shine through the violence * Daily Mail *Debut British writer Amen Alonge’s A Good Day to Die intriguingly channels the black crime ethos of such US writers as S.A. Cosby, but places its criminal anti-hero in an acerbically realised UK setting – Barry Forshaw * Financial Times *Action-packed, gripping, and wildly entertaining, A Good Day To Die is a cracking crime thriller. Amen Alonge is a powerful new voice in thriller writing and a talent to watch * Adam Hamdy, Sunday Times bestselling author *A smart, gritty, action-packed thriller that invokes the spirit of Chester Himes * William Shaw *
This is a cracker of a debut, sharp and brutal, with a body count that would make Tarantino blink
* Trevor Wood *Expect plenty of punch, some memorable characters and even a dash of humour * Crime Fiction Lover *High octane * Crime Monthly *An action-packed contemporary gangland thriller * BBC Online *In A Good Day To Die the action never stops, the body count is high, but there’s also a lot of great humour. Amen Alonge’s debut book is a refreshing new addition to the world of British thriller publishing, with a feel of the US cult series The Wire * Melan Mag *A Good Day to Die is a thoughtful and insightful novel and the continuous action feels explosive - often quite literally. The writing is elegant, there’s a love of language and the plot superbly crafted… The tension in the plot is maintained in masterly fashion and the level of excitement is fever pitch. A classy debut, the opener for a series that promises to be riveting * Crime Fiction Lover *Seriously gripping from the first page to the last, this fast-paced, action-packed roller-coaster of a thriller comes from an exciting new voice in crime fiction * Dead Good *About The Author
